Goofball New Member Canada 36 Posts	Posted Yesterday 08:48 am Hi all, struggling with this one. Found several posts about it in the past from other sites with conflicting information. My understanding is that they were PL. However compared to PL sets ive seen from 1968, the coins in the mint-sealed cellophane strips seem to have a lot of bag marks and damage, suggesting they may not be PL? Any help is greatly appreciated! Report this Post to the Staff

Goofball New Member Canada 36 Posts	Posted Yesterday 6:02 pm Thanks for the feedback. Greatly appreciated. Genuinely surprised the 1968s are business strikes. Really good news. Some are in great shape 'keeprs' others look pretty dinged up. I uploaded some photos as requested, focusing more on some of the dinged up coins and packaging. Thabks again for the insights Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 99962 Posts	Posted Yesterday 10:31 pm The 'dings' you see are just bag marks and contact from other coins as they drop in the collection bins at the end of the line. I don't think that they are a distraction from the coins in any way. That is a nice set. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10468 Posts	Posted Yesterday 10:41 pm They were released in cardboard envelopes, in strips of five. 1968 - business strikes 1969 - proof-like strikes That is partially the reason why it is easy to find a 1968 MS-65 dollar, but considerably harder to find a 1969 MS-65 dollar.
